I'm pretty sure that there is no video of Wilson shooting Brown. There are videos of people claiming Brown had his arms up when he was. There are witnesses claiming Wilson was shot in the back. There are still more witnesses that say it happened about the way Darren Wilson said it happened. The grand jury heard all those accounts, and they were shown the physical evidence.
Other witnesses wouldn't talk about what they saw because they said they were afraid of retaliation from the community. That's right. They weren't afraid of the police. They were afraid of their neighbors.
The physical evidence says Brown was not shot in the back. Testimony saying he was can be discounted. At least one of the people that initially said he was shot in the back later recanted and admitted he didn't actually see the shooting.
Something else the physical evidence says is that Michael Brown wasn't just standing there with his hands up when he was shot from some distance. The distribution of spent shell casings in relation to Michael Brown's body support Wilson's account that Michael Brown was moving forward towards Wilson and that Wilson was backing away from Brown as he was shooting.
